It’s National Cinnamon Roll Day in Sweden, and why not?

Ooey, gooey goodness of fresh, soft bread rolled up with cinnamon, raisins and a glaze icing. What’s not to like. Of course, they would love them in Sweden!

They’re not difficult to make, so try these rolls out.

How to Bake Cinnamon Rolls:

Delightful and soft, I have a super tasty cinnamon roll recipe as follows.

Type: Bread Recipe

Serve with: tea or coffee
Prep Time: 3 min
Toast Time: 2-3 min
Serves: 24 rolls

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup shortening
3 tbsp warm water
3 1/2 tsp dry yeast
3/4 cup + 2/3 cup sugar + 3 tsp sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/4 tsp salt
4 2/3 cups all purpose flour
6 tbsp butter
3 tsp ground cinnamon
raisins – if desired

Instructions:

To prepare dough, on low heat, in a medium pot, stir shortening until it melts in milk.
In a large bowl, allow yeast to bloom using warm water and adding sugar and stirring.
Beat milk mixture into yeast preparation, adding 3/4 cup sugar, eggs and salt.
Add flour and beat dough for 5-6 minutes. Place in an oiled bowl.
Cover & refrigerate about 12 hours.
Divide dough in half and roll out to about 12 inches x 14 inches each.
Brush each rectangle with 3 tbsp butter.
Sprinkle each rectangle with 1/3 cup sugar and 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon.
Roll each piece from longer side to longer side.
Slice into 2 1/2 inch pieces, and place on greased cookie sheet.
Brush tops with egg wash and allow rolls to rise until double in size – about 1 1/2 – 1 3/4 hrs.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake in middle of oven at reduced heat of 350 degrees F until lightly browned – about 15 min. * Tip: Do NOT burn. So, check often.
Remove from oven and allow to cool. Ice with loose icing, so it flows over edges of rolls.
